"I told you, if you didn't approve my request today, I would kill you in this office. Did you really take my words as a joke?"

Liang Chengsi chased Wang Jian back into his office and raised his gun, pulling the trigger!

Bang!

A flash of fire!

Wang Jian's shoulder sprayed blood, and he screamed before collapsing to the ground.

"You, a former official who was dismissed, revived thanks to the Federation's re-employment policy, should have been diligent and cautious... but what have you done?" Liang Chengsi glared, kicking Wang Jian's head and chest. "You living like this is the greatest insult to those soldiers who died on the frontier!"

"They fought bravely to protect maggots and parasites like you?"

Bang!

Liang Chengsi fired again, shattering Wang Jian's kneecap.

"Don't kill me... don't kill me, I beg you, let me go! I won't dare to do it again. I'll process your applications first from now on! I'll give you extra supplies, okay?" Wang Jian screamed, crawling on the ground like a fat worm. "Give me a chance!"

"You know how to beg for mercy now?" Liang Chengsi kicked Wang Jian in the face, roaring angrily, "Do you remember two months ago, how I begged you for a batch of medicine? That was life-saving medicine for the shelter! Do you know that because you deliberately delayed, more than a hundred citizens and thirty soldiers died in my shelter?"

"I gave you a chance, but who gave them a chance?!"

Half of Wang Jian's teeth were kicked out, blood flowed freely, and his mind began to wander. He could only repeat one sentence: "Spare me, spare me..."

"Besides, the Federation has already given you one chance... it's a pity you didn't cherish it." Liang Chengsi took a deep breath, finally venting the anger in his heart, and indifferently raised his gun, aiming at Wang Jian's head. "So, there won't be a second time."

"There are many people like you in the world, and I can't kill them all myself."

"So, I'll use my life and yours to get those above to wield a knife and completely clean up people like you!"

Liang Chengsi knew very well that if he killed Wang Jian, he definitely wouldn't survive. No matter the reason, killing a colleague was a capital crime!

But he wasn't afraid.

Because he knew that his death wasn't without value.

If he could exchange his death for a peaceful and prosperous future for human civilization, he was willing!

…

Bang!

In the corridor, everyone suddenly heard several consecutive gunshots from the office.

The expressions of both the chief officers and the security team members who were confronting each other changed.

The security team pushed past the chief officers' resistance and ran towards the office with pale faces. This time, the chief officers didn't stop them.

They seemed to realize that things couldn't be changed.

The office door opened.

Liang Chengsi walked out alone, his clothes covered with splattered blood. On the office floor behind him, Wang Jian lay in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.

Clatter!

Liang Chengsi dropped his gun and stretched out his hands to the security team members who were rushing toward him.

He had no intention of escaping or committing suicide.

Because if he did, everything he had done would be meaningless.

He needed to stand in a military court, in front of a group of bigwigs, and clearly describe the motives, reasons, and process of everything he had done, exposing everything nakedly to those above.

Only after doing all this could he die.

The security captain walked up to Wang Jian and tentatively touched the artery in his neck.

There was no movement...

In fact, it was unnecessary. Liang Chengsi's later shots were all aimed at Wang Jian's heart. Unless he was an Evolver, there was no chance of survival!

"Click!"

The security captain took out handcuffs, locked Liang Chengsi's hands, and said through gritted teeth, "Commander Liang, you killed a colleague. According to wartime law, we are temporarily detaining you in accordance with the law!"

"Before the military court arrives, you are not allowed to leave this place for any reason!"

"Do you have anything to say?"

"I need a satellite phone to call my adjutant... to explain some work." Liang Chengsi said softly.

The security captain was silent for a moment, then took out a satellite phone and handed it to Liang Chengsi.

Three minutes later, Liang Chengsi hung up the phone and said calmly, "Let's go!"

The security team members escorted Liang Chengsi and strode towards the outside of the building.

This time, the chief officers didn't stop them.

Because the meaning was different!

They looked at Liang Chengsi with extremely complex expressions, the kind of expression one would have when looking at a pioneer—admiration and emotion!

Everyone knew that if Liang Chengsi left, the result would probably be... death!

He would have a fierce argument with those bigwigs in the military court, turning his last life into the most dazzling light, exposing all the filth hidden in the darkness to the eyes of the world!

Just like countless martyrs in the past.

Everyone looked at Liang Chengsi's back, sending him off in silence.

Suddenly, a young chief officer spoke, shouting to Liang Chengsi:

"Great Sage, what are you going for?"

Liang Chengsi was stunned for a moment. He quickly realized that this was a popular joke on the internet before the world's disaster.

Great Sage, what are you going for?

To shatter the firmament!

What if you don't return?

Then I won't return!

The young chief officer stood there, his expression grief-stricken, clenching his fists!

He smiled calmly, shook his head and said, "You're so old, and you're still saying things like that... too childish."

Liang Chengsi walked straight forward, his back disappearing from everyone's sight.

Real life isn't a fairy tale, and there is no Sun Wukong who dares to face the gods and Buddhas, and who is indestructible!

But there are ordinary people, like Sun Wukong, who are not afraid of bloodshed and dare to challenge authority and power.

If Wang Jian represents the evil aspects of human nature such as greed, cowardice, tyranny, and selfishness, then Liang Chengsi represents the good aspects of human nature such as courage, selflessness, fearlessness, and pioneering spirit!

The world will never lack people like Wang Jian, but there will always be Liang Chengsi.

"If the superiors really execute Lao Liang... I'll quit!" An elderly chief officer was silent for a long time, then suddenly said angrily.

"Although Wang Jian wasn't a good person, he didn't commit any substantive crimes. Lao Liang shot him, which is very detrimental to Lao Liang from a legal point of view!" Someone said worriedly.

"Let's write a joint letter!"

"Yes, let's report it to the higher-ups together. I don't believe that the higher-ups will ignore the opinions of our group of people!"

"Write down my name, Wang Yongqian from Lincheng Shelter!"

"And me, Qian Jin from the ST Combat Camp!"

"Chen Yongnian, military chief officer of the Huwei Harbor!"

In the corridor, the chief officers were excited and expressed their intention to write a joint letter. Everyone crowded into Wang Jian's office, took out a blank A4 sheet of paper, and signed their names.

One, two, three...

Soon, an A4 sheet was densely filled with names. A rough check showed that there were as many as one hundred and twenty!

"Is there anyone else who wants to sign up?" The chief officer in charge of recording asked loudly.

Just then, a voice came from the corridor: "Add me!"

The chief officer in charge of recording didn't even look up, picked up a pen and asked, "Shelter name and... your name!"

"My name?" The voice paused, then said:

"Island Master of Kuangxi, Li Tianran!"
